DARTMOUTH — The building of a new BayCoast Bank building in the Big Value Outlet Plaza spurred plaza owners Dartco LLC to implement a series of improvements at the site, according to company manager and one of the family owners, Ira Tatelbaum.

New environmentally friendly LED lighting has already begun being installed, Tatelbaum said at a recent groundbreaking for the bank branch. Other improvements include repaving of the parking lot, landscaping, a new plaza entrance and traffic redesign, and a more customer-friendly parking configuration.

Work is expected to be completed by mid-December.

The project is designed to make the plaza a more welcoming, comfortable and convenient destination for shoppers, owners said in a news release.

The plaza, owned by the Tatelbaum/Katz family, is anchored by Big Value Outlet which is owned by Ira's brother David Tatelbaum.

"Some major changes are already evident, and many more will be happening quickly now," said David Tatlebaum in the release.

Several businesses within the plaza are upgrading or expanding. Hidden Brook Veterinary Services, for example, is up and running in a state-of-the-art facility and the Ying Dynasty restaurant is expanding.

"We are hiring all local companies to perform the work," David Tatelbaum said. "The bank is being built by R.P. Valois & Company, and SITEC, Inc. is doing the engineering for the entire plaza."

"It is a voluntary upgrade by the owners, and for that reason it is quite unusual," said Steven D. Gioiosa, president of SITEC, a full-service civil and environmental engineering consulting firm. "The family is being very proactive in working to improve the shopping experience for their customers."
